Como Friends

When you Give to the Max for @ComoZoo, your gift to preserve free access will go twice as far, thanks to a matching challenge from Como Friends’ board of directors and two generous community members. Thank you! bit.ly/2yFYN9s #GTMD22

Whether it is planning for @ComoZoo's future or protecting the free admission that our visitors value, gifts from people like you make it all possible. Thank you! bit.ly/2yFYN9s #GTMD22 youtu.be/pUyyG6lwG1Y

Give to the Max Day is November 17, but you don’t have to wait to make a gift that will keep @ComoZoo, thriving, and free for generations to come! Give today and your #GTMD22 gift will be matched. bit.ly/2yFYN9s

The reigning flower of fall, chrysanthemums are having their moment @comozoo at the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory this month. The Fall Flower Show runs now through October 30, and resumes from November 5-27. Thank you for your support of the most stunning room in Minnesota.

Even with the slight chill in the air today, the sunny spots are abundant and beautiful throughout Como Park Zoo & Conservatory. Chloe is adept at finding a spot of sunshine in her favorite tree in Tropical Encounters. Tell us about your favorite spot to soak up the sun at Como!

Como Park Zoo & Conservatory has welcomed another zebra foal! Born in the wee hours of the night to Grant’s Zebra “Thelma”. Como’s Zookeepers found both mom and baby up and about this beautiful Autumn morning. The new foal can be seen at Como with half sister Aurora, born in May.

On hot summer days like today, Como Park Zoo & Conservatory’s horticulturist Victoria Housewright has one of the coolest jobs on campus, tending to the lilies, Victoria water platters and other aquatic plants that grow in the water gardens that surround Como’s Visitor Center.

Thank you to our donors & members who attended our Supporter Special Access Open House! Your support is pivotal in providing the specialized care of Como’s primates as well as free access at @ComoZoo. Join us for the next event by becoming a supporter! bit.ly/GivetoComoFrie…
